Le Monde appartient aux voyageurs
Faire un stage ou terminer ses études, vous trouvez ça ennuyeux? Pas de l'autre côté de la terre! Chaque année, des centaines d'étudiants partent à l'aventure en Australie et en Nouvelle-Zélande. Ces pays sont un bon choix car ils sont à la fois anglophones tout en ayant une culture occidentale qui correspond parfaitement à notre niveau de formation. Ils sont parmi les plus beaux pays au monde. Ca tombe bien car vous ne partez pas là-bas uniquement pour votre stage!

FARIBA HACHTROUDI
Meet Franco-Iranian journalist and novelist Fariba Hachtroudi.
Art Gallery in Christchurch at 6.30pm, 26 March
Free event; tickets can be collected at the Alliance Française
The culture is dead, its tongue has been cut
Fariba Hachtroudi, the current writer in residence at Randell Cottage in Wellington, will hold a conference on 26 March 2010 at the Christchurch Art Gallery. This public speech will be an occasion for her to broach many different subjects linked to her work, and also an opportunity to analyse the relationship she has with art, literature and political engagement. She will share with the public the importance of the arts and literature in confronting totalitarianism and helping the fight for human rights to succeed.
The culture is dead, its tongue has been cut is a promising topic, and an occasion for people to meet her, discover her struggle and passion for democracy, and the defence of human rights in her native land Iran and throughout the world.
A little bit more about Fariba Hachtroudi…
Born in 1951 in Tehran, Fariba Hachtroudi has spent most of her life in France. In 1985/1986, to understand the daily life of her compatriots, Fariba secretely travelled to Iran by way of the Baluchistan desert .
A decade later, in 1995, Fariba was much more pessimistic than other opponents of the Iranian regime who where already predicting change and revival “slowly and from within Iran”. She decided to approach the issue again by creating a humanitarian association free of political affiliations: MoHa, the association for the foundation of Mohsen Hachtroudi, her late father and an eminent mathematician.
Fariba is at home in two different cultures and languages.
